Is there any way I can bench test speakers?


I would like to know if there is any way other than listening that I could test to make sure a speaker is properly performing before selling, are there any readings I can take with a mulitmeter, also FYI I'm about as tech savy as a doorknob-thanks-mike

Twl is right on. A Db meter can help. Bear in mind that unless you are in an anechoic chamber all measurements will be askew.

Sure, but you're gonna need at least 2 spotters, given the assymetric nature of most speakers, let alone nothing firm to hold on to. To each his own, but personally I'd just stick to a barbell and plates. Much easier, and probably safer.
